The government of Ghana has deported 42 Nigerians from the Ashanti Region of the country following a court ruling which convicted them of various criminal offences.
The deported Nigerians were convicted of offences including prostitution and fraud.
Ghananian authorities also convicted and deported thirteen Cameroonians, three Ivorians, three Burkinabe nationals, and seven Benin nationals, bringing the total number of deportees to 68.
The development was made known in a Facebook post on Thursday, December 18, 2025, by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene.
Amoakohene wrote, “A total of 42 Nigerians, 13 Cameroonians, 3 Ivorians, 3 Burkinabe nationals, and 7 Benin nationals have been deported from the Ashanti Region to their respective countries following various court rulings involving Q-Net, prostitution, and other criminal activities.
“I commend the Ghana Immigration Service for its professionalism, diligence, and firm commitment to enforcing our immigration laws, while upholding due process and human dignity.
“Their collaboration with the courts and other security agencies continues to strengthen public safety, protect vulnerable persons, and preserve law and order in the region.”
In a related development, Ghana recently deported Three Israeli nationals in what it described as a direct response to the “ill-treatment and unjustified deportation” of three Ghanaian travellers by Israeli authorities.
The decision was announced in an official statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and shared on 𝕏 by Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Sam Okudzeto.
According to the ministry, the three Israelis had arrived in Accra earlier in the day but were immediately expelled after officials concluded that Ghanaian travellers had been unfairly targeted and traumatised in Israel.
